On: Tesla Quietly Removes All U.S. Job Postings

> [Elon Musk] also said he would ask any executive who retained more than three workers who “don’t obviously pass the excellent, necessary and trustworthy test” to resign.

Is this "excellent, necessary and trustworthy test" referring to some specific criteria at Tesla or is it judged at an executives discretion?

By this metric I think it's arguable that Musk himself does not deserve to work at Tesla.

Here's Tesla's drug testing policy.[1]

Intentionally vague so people can be fired at whim. Because the real test is "loyal, loyal, and really loyal".

And if any of these people sneeze in Musk's direction, they'll be fired along with the executive for not "following direction".

... aka the Trump Test. "Are you willing to take a bullet for me (even if I'm the one firing the gun)?"

I would call that the Cheney Test personally.

Discretion, clearly. If you didn’t suck up to the right bosses, your head is on the chopping block at Tesla.

Jeez, he's sounding more and more like a CEO from the Syndicate Worlds (i.e. the bad guys) in The Lost Fleet series of books.

"Trustworthy"? That sounds like he wants a loyalty pledge and a salute.

Seems like an abusive mind game.
